Introduction
Nowadays, knowledge and information has been transferred to…show more content… Donald trump as a threat to America’s internal security because of his contentious remarks on different countries, but all those surveys proved wrong and misleading, thus clearly indicating that online data has its own problems.
Traditional social bias has also intensified because of the biased data sets. Although, Biasness against a group or race is not the fault of programmers of those data sets but how people label their preferences. For example, searching on google for images of “beautiful girls “comes up as all images of girls with white colour, majority of the society sees white colour as a manifestation of beauty so the results generate biasness in the society which ultimately lead towards racism and hinders diversity and multiculturalism in the society.
Another data related risk is that it can easily be manipulated or moulded for personal needs which spawns unethical decisions. For example, in countries where dictatorship is prevalent, the dictator can easily justify his rule by manipulating the data obtained through self-programmed referendum. Such unethical practices circumscribe the political activity in the country thus minimising the opposition and debate culture which ultimately lead towards devastation.
Stealing of data has become a common practice and it seems nothing is secure these days. Although, leaking out of important data sometimes benefits the entire global society like Wiki leaks, Panama papers which has unearthed

Not knowing which candidate is lying or passing a bill and not knowing what is on it. Because most Americans own a smartphone, social media is so enormous and having access to almost anything. While Americans are on the internet, watching television, and listening to the radio or even reading the
Use of Social Media for Protest Behavior, Sabastina Valenzuela (2013) investigated the link between the frequency of social media use and engaging in political protests. He argued that there has been an established positive correlation between social media use and civic engagement. Nevertheless, there has been no systematic explanation proposed to account for this relationship. In this article, the authors tried to test three different explanations connecting the frequency of social media use and
Political News Media
American politics includes a series of conflicts and compromises between the different components of government. The division between the Democrats and Republicans in Congress often reflect the public as each group champions their often controversial opinions with the hope they are enacted as laws. Trying to make sense of the American government and politics, therefore, includes a lot of in-depth analysis of the underlying issues and political ideologies of each group. News media

With most third-party

The media is everywhere. In our computers. In our phones. In our radios. Just around the corner waiting in a newspaper stand and flashing bright colors across our TVs. It seems like there is something being reported continuously every day. News and information are only a few taps away; unlimited knowledge now sits in almost anyone’s back pocket. All these new forms of media are changing everything. Political campaigns are not something we typically think about. To most people above the age of 18
